Missing Christmas

I miss the Christmas season. Yes, I know its only been four days since Christmas. I love decorating the house and putting up lights. I love shopping and wrapping presents. I love making cookies and listening to christmas music. I have decided, however that I don't like Christmas day. Christmas day means an end to all the things I love until the next November. I never thought I would be one to hate Christmas. But I do. It comes too fast. The day is over before you know it and then its time to put away the tree. Oh how I wish Christmas would stay a bit longer.

Bruises

I looked at my legs this morning while I was putting on lotion. I noticed two things. One, my legs are pretty hairy. I wear pants all the time but I think I should at least put in some effort to shave more than once every two weeks for Nick's sake. Two, I look like I have taken some sort of beating. I counted seven bruises on my left leg alone. I believe they are all from Mason trying to sit on me. He still thinks he weighs 15 lbs and is 1" long. I try to tell him he's no longer a lap dog. He just doesn't believe me. I almost want to wear shorts and tell people Nick beats me. He did give me a black eye after all.

On another note, Nick and all his family are off to Polar Ice (ice skating rink). Me, well, I am stuck at work. Ug. I don't know who had the bright idea of having us all come into work today. Half the staff took the day off. I am the unfortunate smuck who gets last dibs on holidays. So here I am blogging at work. If they hadn't blocked shopping, sports, or social sites I would be having a lot more fun. I think I am going to try and sneak out around 3pm. Wish me luck.

The red bowl

Ode to my red pottery barn bowl.

Nick broke you.
And I was mad.
He said it was an accident.
I think he lies.

He let me buy a whole new set.
Times two.

I feel better.
But still miss you.
And Nick still can only use
the plastic dishes.

Well you see I've been busy...

It's a good excuse, right? Truth be told its really, really slow at work this week and Nick never lets me use the computer at home. I still don't know how that works. It's my computer and I pay the bill. Whatever. A lot has happened since I last posted anything. The new house and jobby have actually been keeping me busy. Plus my husband and dog are pretty demanding to. I don't know how people with kids do it. So much has happened that I don't even know where to start. I wanted to blog about Susan. But the thought of writing about her made me want to cry. Maybe one day when I am not too emotional, I will dedicate a whole post to her and how amazing she was as a friend. I also wanted to post about Jen's wedding. My family being in town. Getting to see my Nana. Putting my good ole' Jasmin to sleep, I will probably dedicate a whole post to her too, she was a good dog. Amber's baby shower. Visiting my brother in San Antonio...the list could go on forever. A lot has happened and at the moment I don't know where to begin. Since this week will be slow, I will try and blog the last few months out. I hope people are still reading. There will be some juicy stuff on the way...not really sorry.
